(Continued on page 8, card-map 2.) 

Descriptive and Historical — Of the many pleasant ways 
out of New York to the North, two are here described, al- 
though a study of the map opposite will reveal many other 
delightful combinations. The shorter of these and the most- 
traveled is that via Riverside Drive affording magnificent 
views of the Hudson and its palisades. At Yonkers is the 
historic Phillipse Manor, where Washington wooed but did 
not win the charming Mary. Tarrytown teems with historic 
associations. Sunnyside, the home of Washington Irving, is 
over to the left as one enters, and his tomb is in Sleepy 
Hollow Cemetery, passed in leaving. Here Andre's capture 
is commemorated in marble. Homes of modern wealth 
cluster about, the estates of William and John D. Rockefeller 
being the best known, if not the most beautiful. Just before 
entering Ossining, Sing Sing Prison may be seen over to the 
left. The slightly longer trip via The Gramatan, not only 
exhibits Central and Bronx Parks to the best advantage, but 
follows a wonderful road through the Westchester Hills which 
avoids the congested arteries of commercial traffic, and passes 
in front of New York's most picturesque suburban hotel. 
The Gramatan, where the comfort of the permanent or tran- 
sient guest is assured. At Briarclifif, by a turn to the right 
one may traverse the reservoir district on a magnificent road, 
thus extending the Westchester Hills trip via Yorkville to 
Peekskill.

Falls. 
68.6 Left at cross road leaving trolley. 
74.2 Poughkeepsie, hotel on left, restaurant on 

right. 
(Continued on page lo, card-map 3.) 

Descriptive and Historical — At Croton we come in view 
of the majestic Hudson at the point of its greatest width, the 
village of Haverstraw on the opposite bank being nearly four 
miles away. From Peekskill a newly completed state road 
threads its way through the Putnam County hills, nearing the 
river again at Poughkeepsie. While this will be chosen by 
all except the most ardent sightseers, one may get a few more 
thrills by taking the river road, particularly hair raising being 
the three "S" curves approaching Cold Spring, and the rail- 
way crossings at the two ends of a short tunnel at what is 
aptly called "Breakneck Point." The road passes the base of 
Mt. Beacon, the summit being reached by an inclined railway. 
At Fishkill Landing, now called Beacon, a ferry may be taken 
for Newburg. A detour to the right will take one to Mattea- 
wan recently much advertised by one of its wealthy inmates. 
Poughkeepsie (from the Indian Apokeepsink), is best known 
as the scat of Vassar College and the home of Dewitt Clinton. 
While the city boasts of two hotels and an excellent restau- 
rant, the tourist will do well to push on to Millbrook, where a 
cosy and si)otlcss little inn welcomes the traveler.

74.2 At end of Market street, Poughkeepsie, turn 

right on Main street. 

76.0 Left fork at Blacksmith shoj), through Pleas-

1 13 . 2 Left at 3-corners beyond hotel Lakeville. 
1 14 . 8 Left fork at monument, Salisbury. 
(Continued on page 12, card-map 4.) 

Descriptive and Historical — With the exception of a 
steep unimproved hill descending into Amenia, the wheeling 
is good on this stretch, varying from excellent macadam to 
fair gravel. Millbrook is a pleasant little village in the center 
of a group of fine country estates, "Daheim" with its stately 
stone gate at the turn of the road being the most conspicuous. 
Our road now runs through an iron ore district and into the 
northwest corner of Connecticut, where Lakeville, on the 
shore of Lake Wononscopomoc, is the chief attraction. Even 
before we cross the state line into Massachusetts, the Berk- 
shires loom large ahead, Mt. Everett 2,624 feet on our left 
being the most prominent of these lower Berkshire Hills.

index-map, pages 2 and 3. 

THE BEAUTIFUL BERKSHIRE HILLS 

To catalog the ancient landmarks of the enchanting Berk- 
shires would require a volume. Great Barrington with the 
magnificent Hopkins-Searles mansion and the contrasting 
home of the poet Bryant; Stockbridge with the old home of 
the famous Fields family, its ancient Indian burying-ground, 
and modern mansions; Lee near which is the immense estate 
of George Westinghouse; and Lenox, the social capital of the 
hills where one may tarry long at the Aspinwall, a hotel of de- 
lightful charm, set back from the road on a slight eminence, 
and affording the motoring guest every convenience. Here in 
Lenox lived for a while Nathaniel Hawthorne, when he wrote 
many of his immortal tales; Fanny Kemble, the talented 
actress; and Henry Ward Beecher, the popular divine. The 
chief social event in Lenox is the annual meet of the Hunt 
Club Pittsfield is the commercial center of the Berkshires, 
and lies at the junction of motoring roads from the four points 
of the compass. It has also literary landmarks — the Long- 
fellow House, where the poet wrote "The Old Clock on the 
Stairs," and Holmesdale, where Oliver Wendell Holmes spent 
many summers. Of peculiar excellence is Pittsfield's ex- 
clusive resort hotel The Maplewood, from which many en- 
joyable short trips may be taken.

Berkshires to Saratoga Springs, 75.0 miles 

o.o Pittsfield, Mass. West on Housatonic street. 
This is a left turn coming north from The 
Aspinwall 5.8 miles, or a right turn com- 
ing south from The Maplewood 0.6 miles, 
o. 2 Join trolley and bear left. Under railroad and 

keep right 0.7.

scend steeper grade; cross New York line 7.8. 
Q . 7 Left at 3-corners foot of grade. New Lebanon. 
10.7 Right at 3-corners — church ahead. Through 
West Lebanon 13.6, Nassau 23.6, Scho- 
dack Center 29.1, and East Greenbush 30.9, 
curving right into Broadway, Rensselaer. 
35.4 Left with trolley across Hudson River bridge 

(10-15 cents). 
36- 7 Jog Right-Left on Westerly street, no trolley. 
36.9 Right with trolley on Pearl street. 
36. 4 Left with cross trolley up grade on State street 
to State Capitol, Albany, N. Y. 
(Continued on page 24, card-map 6.) 

I>escriptive and Historical — The start of the second day's 
journey is made from a point conveniently reached from The 
Aspinwall or The Maplewood. There are several ways to 
go to Saratoga from the Berkshires, the most traveled being 
described in the text. An equally good route and somewhat 
shorter may be traced from the maps via Troy. A third is 
via Williamstown, which appears on card-map 5a. (Consult 
key map of the Tour pages 2-3.) After leaving Pittsfield 
the traveler passes through Shaker Village, near which is the 
mountain where the Shakers hunted Satan, killed and buried 
him. Who resurrected him, tradition doponeth not. As- 
cending the long easy slope of the Taconic (Taghkanick) 
Mountains, a wonderful panorama of the Lebanons and 
Wyomanock Valley bursts into view. In the background are 
the Catskills to the southwest, and to the northwest, the 
Adirondacks. Descending we pass into New York State, and 
at the foot of the hill pass the cemetery where Tilden lies 
buried, his birthplace being hard by. At Brainard the road 
through Troy branches off to the right, easily followed to that 
greatest collar town on earth, joining the main route at 
Waterford. Albany, settled in 16 14 by the Dutch as Fort 
Orange, was the second permanent European settlement in 
the New World. Its most striking feature is the splendid 
State Capitol, which cost nearly thirty millions and was 
twenty-five years in building. It is well worth a tour of 
inspection, and guides may be secured in the building. Other 
points of interest are the State Library and City Hall, the old 
Van Rensselaer House and the Schuyler Mansion, where 
lived Peter Schuyler, the first mayor of tlie city. Bret Harte 
was born in Albany. Commercially Albany occupies a 
strategic point on the Hudson River near the head of tide- 
water. It is the terminus of the Erie and Champlain canals, 
and a great railroad center. Both Troy and Albany have 
excellent hotels and garages, for those who wish to do a little 
sightseeing, or elect to travel leisurely. From Albany to 
Saratoga one passes through the manufacturing towns of 
Cohoes, Waterford and Mechanicville, the somewhat con- 
fusing turns through Cohoes l)eing carefully outlined on the 
map opposite.

Short option. For continuation of regular route, see page ^| 

From The Maplewood, Pittsfield, run north c 
North street (or straight, on coming fro 
The Aspinwall 6.4 miles south). 

Left fork with trolley at hospital. 

Keep Left through Lanesboro, leaving trolle: 

Left fork at smithy, and next right. 

Right with state road (sign) . 

Right around store at South Williamstown. 

Left at end of street, Williamstown. 

Right around The Greylock Inn. 

(Continued on page i8, card-map 5b.) 

Descriptive and Historical — A very picturesque arn 
interesting road runs from Pittsfield to Williamstown, th 
chief city of the Upper or Northern Berkshires. It is en 
tirely feasible to make the trip from New York, 173 miles, ii 
one day. A more satisfactory plan is to spend a day in th 
Lower Berkshires, stopping for the night at The Greylock 
whence the run of 140 miles to Burlington can easily be ac 
complished in one day. It will be well worth the tourist 'i 
while to visit the scenes which inspired Bryant to write his 
Thanatopsis, and held Hawthorne in their thralldom. Mt. 
Greylock, ten miles from the Inn is the highest elevation in 
Massachusetts, and the view from its summit magnificent 
The Hopper is an awesome gorge between Mt. Greylock, Mt 
Prospect, and Bald Mountain, through which flows a pic 
turesque brook. Williams College (1793) is in the center of 
the village, and has many splendid buildings.

(Continued on page 20, card-map 5c.) 

Descriptive and Historical — Old Bennington, formerly 
with less euphony or fitness called Bennington Center, is the 
Bennington of revolutionary fame, and is the site of the 
Monument commemorating the Battle of Bennington, 
August 16, 1777, which, however, actually occurred in the 
town of Hoosick, N. Y. It was there that the "Green 
Mountain Boys" under the intrepid Stark utterly routed the 
Redcoats under Col. Baum. The modern Walloomsac Inn 
has taken the place of the ancient Catamount Tavern burned 
in 1 87 1. See the Catamount Monument in the grounds. To 
the southwest two miles is Mt. Anthony with fine views from 
the summit. The newer village known as Bennington is one 
mile east. Ascending a low divide between ranges of the 
Green Mountains we descend into the valley of Batten Kill, 
with unsurpassed views on either side. Passing through 
Manchester a fine sight is Mt. Equinox (3,706) on the left, 
with a glorious setting. Another low divide is traversed and 
we find ourselves in the valley of Otter Creek, which is fol- 
lowed all the way to Vergennes, with the friendly verdant 
hills forming a continuous moving panorama.

Descriptive and Historical — Rutland in the shadow of 
Killington, Pico, and Mendon Peaks, is a commercial town of 
some 15,000 inhabitants, whose chief industry is the marble 
trade, the largest quarry being at Proctor about five miles 
northwest. At Brandon is a cosy and comfortable inn, which 
caters to summer visitors. In the vicinity are deposits of bog 
iron ore, kaolin and marble. Lake Dunmore is one of the 
most beautiful lakes in all Vermont, and is practically sur- 
rounded by hills. An excellent hotel on its western shore 
affords ample accommodation to the motorist, it being a 
leisurely day's run from Lenox or Pittsfield.

Descriptive and Historical — Middlebury is the seat of 
Middlebury College. Vergennes is the oldest city in Ver- 
mont and still one of the smallest in the Union with less than 
2,000 inhabitants. Commodore McDonough's Fleet, which 
won the battle of Lake Champlain, 18 14, was fitted out in 
Vergennes. Opposite Shelburne is the estate of Dr. Seward 
Webb, which is open to tourists. About three miles below 
Burlington is Queen City Park and the famous Red Rocks, 
which all should visit. Burlington, the largest city in Ver- 
mont, is also the most progressive, and with the most beauti- 
ful surroundings. From the roof garden of its splendid new 
hotel. The Vermont, may be seen the broad expanse of Lake 
Champlain with the Adirondacks in the distance; while to the 
east are the lofty peaks of the Green Mountains. Among the 
points of interest are the University of Vermont and Green 
Mountain Cemetery. See page 38.

(Continued on page 26, card-map 7.) 

Descriptive and Historical — Saratoga Springs is a popu- 
lar touring center, and through its streets most of the Adiron- 
dack-bound motorists pass. The Springs of which there are 
a great number, have been acquired by the State, of New 
York. The Indians knew of their efficacy, and they were 
praised by Jacques Cartier in 1535. Saratoga's chief attrac- 
tion was formerly her splendid race track, closed by laws 
which prohibit betting. In consequence her annual influx of 
visitors has waned, and its enormous hotels are rarely filled 
except at conventions. Recently the Grand Union has been 
taken over by Mr. Leland Sterry, whose winter hotel, the 
Breakers, at Palm Beach, is well and favorably known to 
society. Among the nearby points of interest, are Saratoga 
Lake, a beautiful sheet of water with a park; and Mt. Mc- 
Gregor, where General Grant spent his last days. Saratoga 
Battlefield is near Stillwater fifteen miles southeast, the 
imposing monument commemorating Burgoyne's surrender 
being located at Schuylerville, where the British made head- 
quarters in 1777. 

An alternate trip from Albany may be made through 
Schenectady, the terminus of the first railroad built in 
America. The old station is still standing. Among its 
many factories are the immense General Electric Works, 
and the American Locomotive Plant, the two employing 
about 35,000, Chester A. Arthur and John Howard Payne 
were students at Union College. Ballston Spa was once a 
fashionable watering place, but its fame has been over- 
shadowed by that of Saratoga.

(Continued on page 28, card-map 8.) 

Descriptive and Historical — The new state road runs 
from Saratoga through several small villages to Hadley on 
the Hudson, on the opposite bank being Luzerne. Twelve 
miles away is the village of Lake George, at the foot of the lake 
of that name. The largest and finest of the Lake George 
hotels, The Sagamore, having recently burned, the tourist is 
warned to engage accommodations in advance, if he desires 
to stop there, as no rooms are set aside by any of the hotels 
for tourists taking the Scenic Motorway. Lake George 
named for King George II, was called by the Indians Andi- 
atarocte and nicknamed Horicon (silvery waters) by Cooper 
in the "Last of the Mohicans." Historically Lake George 
has played a prominent part, and ruins of the old Forts, 
William Henry and George, may be seen near the village, and 
a little further away Fort Edward. Steamers ply on the lake 
to the various points of interest, among which may be men- 
tioned Roger's Rock, Bolton, Sagamore, Sabbathday Point, 
Hague, Diamond Island, and Dome Island. Passing through 
several small villages we follow a fine macadam road to the 
Leland House, picturesquely situated on the western shore of 
Schroon Lake, the lake itself being about ten miles long and 
two to three miles wide. Among the nearby points of interest 
are Mt. Pharaoh and Paradox Lakes.

Saratoga Springs to Adirondacks (Continued) 

69 . 7 Return to band stand and turn right direct 
state road through Schroon River 78.8 and 
New Russia 97.0. 
loi . I Left turn to The Windsor, Elizabethtown. 

(Continued on page 30, card-map 9, for Lake Placid, 
Saranac Inn and Loon Lake, or may take state 
road direct to Plattsburgh. 

Descriptive and Historical — A splendid road runs from 
Loon Lake along Schroon River to its source, a few sweeping 
curves over the divide and we are descending the valley of 
Bouquet River, with fine views all the way to Elizabethtown. 
The Windsor is the oldest and most popular hotel at this point, 
and the management makes a special feature of information 
about the Adirondacks, cheerfully given to inquiring travelers. 
Elizabethtown, itself surrounded by high peaks, is the door- 
way to the most beautiful part of the Adirondacks, which 
includes Lake Placid, Loon Lake, and Upper Saranac Lake, 
all with superior hotels, for a night or a week's stay. While it 
is possible to run direct to Burlington or Montreal on state 
road shown on card-maps 10 and 11, the traveler is strongly 
urged to take at least a day for the sights which he will note 
are described below. 

The Adirondack Mountains — Many volumes have been 
written about the Great Adirondack Wilderness, but words 
will always fail to convey that deep impression of grandeur 
which a sight of those majestic mountain masses makes. 
The maps show the principal peaks and their elevations; 
hachures being omitted for the sake of clearness. Nowhere 
in America is there such a glorious combination of lakes, 
rivers, and hills as this region presents. Our route, while 
short, circles the most beautiful portion of this natural vaca- 
tion ground, and may be extended to cover several days or 
weeks at will. Starting almost due west from Elizabethtown, 
we follow a new state road with a gradual ascent to Keene, 
where one may go direct over a rough and steep road via 
Cascade Lakes, or the longer and more agreeable way through 
the famed Wilmington Pass, cleft in the flank of the moun- 
tain, with barely room for the road and the river. Lake 
Placid is perhaps the best known of the Adirondack Lakes, 
and while the village itself is on Mirror Lake, The Stevens 
House, largest and best equipped of the hotels, overlooks both 
lakes, and commands a magnificent view of Whiteface. The 
village of Saranac Lake is interesting and is the center of a 
group of lakes. It is noted for the cures of tuberculosis 
which have been effected in its high dry atmosphere. None 
of the hotels listed on the Scenic Motorway receive these 
patients. At the head of Upper Saranac Lake is a charming 
little Inn where one may refresh and rest, for the angling is 
good, and golf is provided for those who do not care to com- 
mune with nature. A picturesque drive of thirty miles will 
take one to the commodious and home-like Loon Lake House, 
beautifully situated on a lake, and enjoying a well earned 
reputation, for the excellence of its cuisine and service.

Historical and Descriptive — This section of our tour is 
most remarkable from the fact that it is the best way to 
cross Vermont, both from the standpoint of fine roads and 
pleasing landscapes, though traversing the state at its widest 
part. And that without a steep grade or solitary waterbar, 
being in striking contrast to some of the other transmontane 
routes so extensively featured. From Jericho to Hyde Park, 
the road semicircles Vermont's highest and most conspicuous 
peak, Mt. Mansfield, keeping a distance of about ten miles 
from the summit. The exit from Burlington is made either 
via Winooski Road — the way we came in — or preferably via 
Pearl street and Colchester avenue, when we may view the 
spacious buildings of the University of Vermont to our right, 
and beyond the sixty-acre Athletic Field. This is one of 
New England's oldest institutions of learning, chartered 1791. 
Further along is Green Mountain Cemetery with its heroic 
statue of Ethan Allen, surmounting a forty-foot shaft. In 
this he is pictured as demanding the surrender of Ticonde- 
roga, "in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental 
Congress." Descending across the meandering Winooski, 
we turn right and follow its winding course past Fort Ethan 
Allen, the largest garrison east of the Mississippi. At Essex 
Center we turn the nose of our car directly toward Mt. 
Mansfield, whose huge recumbent profile is silhouetted 
against the sky. From Jericho, we run northward and 
semicircularly follow the railroad to Hyde Park, where there 
is a small inn. This is five miles out of the way, unless 
going direct over the hills to St. Johnsbury, and ordinarily 
the tourist turns at Johnson.

Descriptive and Historical. Following a small stream to 
its headwaters in a group of ponds near Eden, we pass into 
the St. Lawrence watershed without being aware of having 
crossed a divide. As we approach Troy on our picturesque 
drive, Jay Peak may be seen to the northwest. A gentle 
descent brings us to Newport, with its beautiful location on 
Lake Memphremagog, once very popular with summer 
excursionists, but since the burning of the large hotel accom- 
modations have been limited, although a fair luncheon may 
be had at the Newport House. An interesting side trip 
may be made into Canada, the roads being fairly good all 
the way to Quebec, 179 miles. Upon leaving Newport, 
one must decide whether he will go to Bethlehem and 
Bretton Woods in the heart of the White Mountains, or 
whether he will take the no less interesting trip to Dixville 
Notch, one of the most picturesque spots in New England, 
described on page 44. The route divides at Pensioner 
Pond, eleven miles out.

Descriptive and Historical — Of the several ways to go 
from Newport to St. Johnsbury, this is by far the most 
picturesque, and recent improvements in the roads, par- 
ticularly along the lake have made the trip ideal. Lake 
Willoughby with its two sentinels, Mts. Pisgah and Hor, 
their slopes descending to the very water's edge, has been 
aptly called the Luzerne of Vermont, and is a sight to be long 
remembered. At Lyndonville is the summer home of Theo. 
N. Vail, who established the Lyndon Agricultural School. St. 
Johnsbury is a busy manufacturing village of 8,500 inhabi- 
tants, with large water power. The famous Fairbanks Scales 
are made here and the Fairbanks millions have made possible 
a Museum and Art Gallery. The C. H. Goss Garage is a 
model of its kind, with complete machine and repair shops.

(Continued to Bethel on page 47, card-map 14b.) 



Descriptive and Historical — The trip from Burlington to 

the Balsams includes not only the best roads but the most 
attractive scenery in the state of Vermont. After leaving 
Pensioner Pond one practically follows the Grand Trunk 
Railway to the New Hampshire line, where the Connecticut 
river is crossed and followed to Colebrook. Ten miles to the 
east is what many travelers believe to be the most glorious 
spot in a glorious state, Dixville Notch. In this belief, per- 
haps, that jewel of a lake nestling down among the hills is 
called Lake Gloriette. In entire accord with its surroundings 
is The Balsams, the summum bonum of hoteldom. Recent 
enlargements will make possible the accommodation of all 
Scenic Motorwayfarers during the present season.

(For Portland turn right, see page 54, card-map 18.) 



Descriptive and Historical — After leaving Dixville Notch 

with a magnificent view in either direction, the road descends 
to a comparatively level plain across which we speed without 
turn or fork for twelve miles to Errol, formerly known as 
Errol Dam. Crossing the Androscoggin near its source in 
Umbagog Lake, we ascend a long hill with fine views of the 
lake on the descent. This is one of the chain of Rangeley 
Lakes, but so far there is no short cut except by canoe and 
carry, to that delectable fishing and hunting ground in Maine. 
Passing through Grafton Notch the descent is easy to the 
Androscoggin at Bethel, with the tiniest of inns, but recom- 
mended to those who are fortunate enough to secure accom- 
modation. From Bethel one may take the Maine Tour out- 
lined on pages 78-9, which is given in fuller detail in the little 
book issued by the Maine Automobile Association. Or, if 
hastening homeward, one may go to Portland direct, or take 
the longer detour via Poland Springs which is not a part of the 
Scenic Motorway. Directions for the short trip are given 
on pages 54-56 and card-maps 18-19.

Descriptive and Historical — Following Moose River out 
of St. Johnsbury a turn to the right is made in the outskirts of 
St. Johnsbury East which takes the tourist up the slope of 
Waterford Mountain, descending to the Connecticut River at 
Lower Waterford. Crossing into New Hampshire the road 
improves, and at Littleton we cross the Ammonoosuc, and 
climb a long easy grade to Bethlehem, one of the most favored 
spots in the White Mountains, with an excellent hotel, The 
Sinclair, and facilities for all outdoor amusements. Several 
delightful drives may be made from this point to the Profile 
House, to Whitefield and other interesting spots. From 
Bethlehem, a most pleasing route with enchanting views of 
the Presidential Range, takes one to Bretton Woods with the 
Mount Pleasant House, and the unequalled Mt. Washington 
House. Three miles to the South is the time-honored 
Crawford House, overlooking Crawford Notch. (See page

Descriptive and Historical — The trip around the Presi- 
dential Range enables one to compare the beauties of the 
Crawford Notch with those of the less known Pinkham Notch, 

which latter is now ascended by an excellent state road. At 
the foot of the descent out of Crawford Notch may be seen 
where a landslide engulfed the Willey family a century ago. 
At Glen Cottage, an automobile road ascends Mt. Washing- 
ton, and one may take advantage of this opportunity to get 
the most glorious views in the Mountains. A hotel at the 
summit accommodates those who wish to see the sunset or 
sunrise. Gorham is a picturesque little village with a com- 
fortable hotel noted for its excellent table and reasonable 
charges, and is an ideal stop for luncheon. Our way now lies 
along the Androscoggin into Maine. At Bethel one may keep 
on and make the circuit of the famous Maine resorts, Rangely, 
Moosehead, Bangor and Bar Harbor, returning via the coast 
to Portland. See pages 78-79 for complete directions.

(Continued on page 56, card-map 19.) 

Descriptive and Historical — This short trip has bee-n 
recently improved and bids fair to become more popular than 
the formerly traveled route via the Polands. By this way the 
total distance from Dixville to Portland is but 114 miles, a 
very leisurely day's run, and from Bretton Woods, if not the 
shortest, is but six miles longer and as good time can be made 
under any ordinary circumstances. The many views of the 
Maine hills and lakes are very pleasing to the eye. Harrison 
sits at the head of Long Lake which teems with fish, and at the 
farther end is Naples, both of these towns with resort hotels.

(Continued on page 58, card-map 20.) 



Descriptive and Historical — Shortly after leaving Naples 
we come in sight of Sebago, one of Maine's grandest lakes, 
and long popular with Nimrods and Waltons. Crossing Duck 
Pond Brook and the sedate Presumpscott, we enter Portland 
via Forest avenue, and find a royal welcome at The Lafayette, 
Portland's most exclusive and best appointed hotel, far enough 
from the business district to ensure quiet. 

Portland is picturesquely situated on a rocky promontory 
in the southwest corner of Casco Bay, a fine view of which is 
commanded from Munjoy Hill. The first settlement was 
made in 1632, and war, pestilence, fire and famine were its 
foes. Destroyed by the Indians and revived as Falmouth, 
laid waste during the Revolution and bombarded during the 
War of 1812, it suffered its last disaster in the fire of 1866. 
Among the things to see are the Eastern and Western Prom- 
enades, the Longfellow Home and Monument, the Eastern 
Cemetery, and several imposing public buildings. The 
environs of Portland include those wonderful Islands of Casco 
Bay, Cape Cottage and Bowery Beach.

Portland, we see little of the coast from the state road. 
Leisurely side trips may be made to Cape Cottage, Bowery 
Beach, Old Orchard and Kennebunkport, all famed as shore 
resorts for many years. At Ogunquit one may take the 
optional shore route, which though winding is very beautiful. 
Again at York Beach, one may drive through the Coney 
Island of Maine, by following the trolley along the beach. 
Portsmouth is at the beginning of New Hampshire's short 
stretch of coast, and has an excellent harbor. At Kittery 
across the river is the Navy Yard, and at the end of our trip 
is The Wentworth, one of the famous hotels of New England, 
ideally situated on Newcastle Island, with every convenience 
and comfort for guests.

I 



Descriptive and Historical — The drive from Newcastle 
to Boston is along the far-famed "North Shore," its great 
natural beauty having been enhanced by the handiwork of 
man. The roads are the best we have encountered, the air is 
bracing, and one is tempted to linger for days along this 
stretch, where many excellent caravansaries offer rest and 
refection. Two of the very best are here listed, The Farragut, 
with its odd setting of gnarled old trees, overlooking the ocean; 
and The Ocean House, directly on the water front, with all 
the luxuriousness of appointment which the most fastidious 
could desire. There is so much of interest to be seen between 
these two hotels that one may well take a day in covering the 
forty-odd miles intervening. First there is Little Boars Head 
and Great Boars Head, Hampton Beach with its Casino, and 
the mile-long bridge over Hampton Harbor. Then comes 
quaint old Newburyport, continuing as one village into New- 
bury and Newbury Old Town, with their many old houses and 
historic landmarks.

Ipswich its old Whipple House, with a copy of the "Breeches 
Bible." In Beverly, is pointed out where President Taft 
made his summer home, where Dr. Holmes lived, and the 
parsonage of John Hale, whose wife was accused of witch- 
craft. Salem was the real witch town, and one will do well to 
make the rounds of the old houses, most of which were spared 
in the recent fire. Here you will be shown where Washington 
headquartered; where Lafayette dined and danced; where 
Hawthorne was born, and the old Custom House, where he 
worked, the House of Seven Gables, and the old Grimshawe 
House, where Hawthorne's fiancee lived; the old Roger Wil- 
liams House, afterward the "Witch House" and finally 
Witch Hill, where the "witches" were hanged. The only 
modern building in Salem is the Normal School passed in 
leaving. While Swampscott is more modern in atmosphere, 
it is reached by an old road opened in 1629, now called Orient 
street, which leads one to the magnificent New Ocean House. 



NEW OCEAN HOUSE i;;^'^i^v%i?7d 

Delightfully situated on the famous 
North Shore, fifteen miles from 
Boston. Large and luxuriously ap- 
pointed suites with bath, also single 
rooms with bath. Golf, tennis, rid- 
ing, sailing, fishing. Commodious 
and well-appointed garage.

(Continued on card-map 24.) 



Descriptive and Historical — From Swampscott we are on 

the Metropolitan Parkway System, practically all the way 
into Boston, a delightful drive of fifteen miles. In passing 
through the outskirts of Lynn, a great shoe manufacturing 
center, and home of the General Electric Works, one may take 
a short side trip to Nahant, traversing a long sand-bar barely 
wide enough for the road. Revere Beach is the Coney of 
Massachusetts, and here congregate all sorts and conditions 
of men, women and children, for the fare to Boston is but five 
cents. This wonderful beach is under the control of the state, 
which exercises exclusive bathhouse privileges, the charge 
being always 25 cents at the big fireproof and sanitary State 
Bath House, an example which would profitably be followed 
by New York. At the end of Revere Beach, another side run 
may be made to Winthrop, a pleasant little suburban resort, 
and a diverting hour may be spent in Middlesex Fells, one of 
the largest public parks in the East. Passing through Somer- 
ville, the seat of Tufts College we enter Cambridge, where 
ancient Harvard holds sway, and cross the Charles River into 
Boston proper. A right turn on the Hub's choicest residence 
boulevard. Commonwealth avenue, brings us into the heart 
of the hotel district, where the Puritan reigns supreme.

(Continued on page 68, card-map 25.) 

Descriptive and Historical — Shortly after leaving the 
Puritan we enter the Fens, that wonderful garden-like 
park, once a salt marsh. The Parkway continues past 
Leverett and Jamaica Ponds, and through the Arborway near 
which is the famous Arnold Arboretum. At Mattapan we 
cross the Neponset River, and continue south through the 
Blue Hills Reservation. Great Blue Hill is the largest of 
these hills, and at the summit is an observatory and weather 
station. The road is practically a parkway with no houses 
until Stoughton is reached, a typical old New England village. 
Taunton was founded by Miss Elizabeth Pool, a pious Puritan 
of Taunton in Somersetshire. The settlement was in the 
territory of Cohannet and King Philip was friendly until 
1676, when in an attack on the town he was driven off and 
killed. An agreeable option to the trip above mentioned, is 
through Brockton, the great shoe manufacturing center, made 
famous by Douglas and others. From Taunton to Newport 
the way is along the Taunton River, passing Dighton Rock 
Park, where curious old markings on a rock have been at- 
tributed to the Norsemen. Crossing the river into Fall 
River, largest cotton manufacturing town in the United 
States, we descend to Newport on Rhode Island, the recog- 
nized social Capital of these United States, and where the 
elect all have summer "cottages," many of them costing more 
than a million. One should by all means take the ten-mile 
drive which circles the "colony." Crossing by means of two 
ferries, one reaches Narragansett Pier, second only to New- 
port in social importance. Its largest and best appointed 
hotel is The Mathewson, facing the ocean, and with every 
convenience for the transient or permanent guest.

Descriptive and Historical — While the roads are good 
and the drive pleasant, there is little of interest on the way to 
Stonington, a quaint old Connecticut village, just a little out 
of our path. At Mystic is the Pequot Battle Monument, and 
along the shore are several summer resort places. When we 
approach Groton we see the commanding Monument which 
commemorates the Battle of Groton Heights. A splendid 
view is obtained from the tower. A steam ferry quickly 
transfers us across the Thames River, where many college 
boat-races are held, and lands us in New London, one of the 
most interesting of Connecticut's towns. Here one may see 
the little old schoolhouse where Nathan Hale taught, and the 
old Town Mill (1646) as old as the town itself and still work- 
ing. A side trip on Ocean or Pequot avenue, will take one to 
Ocean Beach. A steamer for Greenport makes possible a 
trip to New York via Long Island.

East 



92.5 



Descriptive and Historical — Old Lyme and Old Say- 
brook are full of quaint old colonial houses with their histori- 
cal traditions. Fitz-Greene Halleck was born at Guilford, 
and is there buried. Like many other villages, Guilford boasts 
of the "oldest house in the United States." Sachem's Head 
and Indian Neck are among the nearby shore resorts. Bran- 
ford, deserted in 1655 by the colonists who opposed the 
union of Hartford and New Haven colonies, is now a prosper- 
ous village with the beautiful Blackstone Library. New 
Haven, the "City of Elms," is best known as the seat of 
Yale College, but has numerous manufactories of hardware, 
arms, clocks, etc. Among New Haven's prominent sons, 
have been Timothy Dwight, Samuel F. B. Morse, Noah 
Webster, and Eli Whitney. Here John Dixwell and Edward 
Whalley, "regicides," fled after the Restoration, and lay 
hidden in a cave on West Rock. New Haven has now one 
of the newest, largest, and best appointed hotels in New 
England, The Taft.

(Continued on page 76, card-map 29.) 

Descriptive and Historical — A pleasing variant as far as 
Milford is via the shore road through Savin Rock. Milford 
settled in 1639 by a saintly company from Milford, England, 
was at first surrounded by a wall and palisade. A monument 
in the cemetery marks the resting place of the prisoners, who 
were cast ashore by the British in 1777. Bridgeport is a busy 
manufacturing city, sewing machines, phonographs, organs, 
arms and automobiles being the chief products. The town is 
further noted as having been the home of P. T. Barnum, and 
is still the winter quarters of the "Greatest Show on Earth." 
Monuments to Barnum and Eli Whitney stand in Seaside 
Park. South of Fairfield lies a beautiful beach, once a popu- 
lar resort with a large hotel. This village was burned in 
1779 by the British, and in the old stage days was the first 
day's stop out of New York, about fifty miles. The purchase 
of Norwalk was made in 1640 from the Indians, being de- 
scribed as one day's "North Walk" from the Sound. Many 
beautiful homes are to be seen along the beach between 
Norwalk and Stamford. Pleasant side runs may be made 
from the latter point to Shippan Point, and Sound Beach 
where are many suburban homes of wealthy New Yorkers.

(See Manhattan map, page 5) 

Descriptive and Historical — Greenwich is surrounded by 
magnificent country estates, and a drive around its environs 
is well worth while. Here the old home of General Israel 
Putnam may be seen, and also "Put's Hill," where he rode 
down a steep declivity to escape the British. The home of the 
notorious Bill Tweed is also pointed out. At Rye is a fashion- 
able colony, with an exclusive bathing place at Rye Beach, 
from which point a ferry connects with Sea Cliff, Long 
Island, New Rochelle is almost a part of New York City, 
and is the home of countless "commuters." On North 
avenue on the way to The Gramatan is a monument to Tom 
Paine, who was given a farm by New York state in recog- 
nition of his services to the nation. A fine boulevard extends 
from New Rochelle through Pelham Park and Bronx Park, 
and with but slight interruption continues all the way through 
Central Park into the world-famous Fifth avenue, convenient 
to which are many excellent hostelries, among the more de- 
sirable of which being The McAlpin, The Vanderbilt, The 
Plaza, and The Biltmore.

A Final Word 

THIS little booklet marks 
the first step in a general 
plan for a more convenient and 
dependable service of informa- 
tion to the motor traveler. 

Both text and maps have been 
compiled from personal observa- 
tions by Mr. Henry MacNair, 
for many years the editor of 
leading automobile guide-books 
and maps. 

With large-scale maps clearly 
speaking their mission, printed 
directions have been reduced to 
a minimum. 

The carefully selected list of 
hotels vv^ill appeal to the discrim- 
inating tourist, for at each will 
be found excellence, comfort 
and charm. 

Later, it is purposed to issue 
supplementary maps in card form 
for side-trips, and these will be 
available at all the Motorway 
hotels. 

Communications relative to sug- 
gested improvements in this 
service are invited by the pub- 
lisher.
